Highlights
INTRODUCTION The soils of southern ofIraq are generally ranged between loamy silt clay to silt clay
Comparing the draft force requirement of CVMP and that of lateral inclined mole plow (LIMP), CVMP required less draft force for all operating depth tested and that was because CVMP manipulated less volume of soil than LIMP as well as CVMP did not experience a lateral force so that it did not suffer from the friction force which created by the lateral force as the case with LIMP
The draft force requirements of CVMP and LIMP increased with the soil M.C. and that was due to the soil cohesion and adhesion which both of them were higher in the soil of higher M.C
Summary
INTRODUCTION The soils of southern ofIraq are generally ranged between loamy silt clay to silt clay. These soils are classified as heavy soils They suffer from many problems among them high bulk density, low total porosity, compacted layers, hard pans and high water table, close to the soil surface (Aday et al, 2016a; Aday et al, 2016b). These problems reduce the soil infiltration considerably which negatively affect the soil microorganism activity and increase the soil salinity. The soil confine pressure in most cases is not enough on the foot of CVMP to form regular and good mole because most of the soil above the foot
